...The mob, instead, attacked the headquarters of abolitionist Horace Greeley's New York Tribune until forced to flee by the Brooklyn Police...

Great project, I had a big lead pile which never saw the light of day , TVAG minis, Foundry, Westwind etc. I had one game using the BHoys rules quite nice and quirky they were for the period.

I am slowly working on an 1861 Baltimore riot game.

Try these for your black civilians:

Fantastic stuff, will follow this one. I've always thought about doing a similar project set in Britain, plenty of large-scale riots here to pick from...one day perhaps...

There're are also two packs of black armed civilians in the Perry Mafeking line but it says most of the weapons are seperate

Thanks! I actually have those but never thought about them for this project. Now I must start digging...

Jororoas! I missed your post, sorry. These are also on the painting desk

Those bases that you are using would work well for my Baltimore Riots. Where did you find them?

Wow...those would be great for Baltimore!

Heh, seems to be a meme. I've been slooowly putting together figs for an 1850's Baltimore election riots game. Fire companies, gangs, muskets, and even a carronade set up in the streets.

Perry, Brigade have been my go-to's, but also mixing in some Westwind Victorian types.

Really nice work so far   I am really looking forward to your future efforts!

Thats funny Zeb. There do seem to be trends in Wargaming...like when everyone was suddenly playing Old West several years ago..or when Pirates were suddenly all the rage.  Could be group think....or could be because Perry released those rioters!!
